ProFlow PM2000 vs Foam Cannon: Do You Still Need One?
So you just picked up the Chemical Guys ProFlow PM2000 and you're wondering—do I still need a separate foam cannon? Let’s break it down.
What the PM2000 Includes
The ProFlow PM2000 ships with a “pro-style” foam cannon. That sounds great—but it's important to know that not all foam cannons are created equal. Most bundled units are entry-level plastic builds that get you started, but rarely deliver pro-level results.
What a Dedicated Foam Cannon Does Better
- Adjustable orifice size for better control of foam density
- More durable components (brass fittings, full body threads)
- More consistent foam output with quality soaps
In short: if you're chasing ultra-thick foam that clings to paint, a higher-end foam cannon still has the edge. But...
It’s Not Just the Tool—It’s the Soap
Whether you use the PM2000’s built-in cannon or upgrade to your own, the foam results depend heavily on the soap you feed it. That’s why **The Super Soaper** makes such a difference.
Why Super Soaper Works with Either Setup:
- High-foam concentrate built for foam cannons
- Low viscosity means it sprays easily and doesn’t clog
- Safe on coatings, wraps, and trim
Foam Cannon vs PM2000: Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | ProFlow PM2000 Foam Cannon | Dedicated Foam Cannon + Super Soaper |
|---|---|---|
| Foam Thickness | Good with proper soap | Excellent with Super Soaper |
| Adjustability | Limited | Full control over spray angle and foam ratio |
| Durability | Plastic, basic build | Brass connectors, replaceable parts |
| Overall Cleaning Power | Depends on soap used | Maximized by Super Soaper’s surfactants |
Verdict: Do You Still Need a Foam Cannon?
If you’re happy with decent foam and a quick job, the included PM2000 cannon is fine. But if you want maximum coverage, clinging foam, and pro-level results—you’ll want to upgrade and pair it with The Super Soaper.
